Not all Muslim women wear Burkas and those that do aren't all forced to do so.

Would you ban Christians from going to church on a Sunday because they're "forced" to do so by their religion?


There are many branches of Islam, and many different interpretations of how a "good" Muslim should behave. However, there is nothing in the Koran which states that a Muslim woman must be covered from head to foot, this is simply a very extreme interpretation/view/teaching of some Islamic clerics, in particular those who come from the Wahhabi Sunni sect of Islam. If we look at certain Islamic countries - Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Indonesia and even Iran, there is a very relaxed dress code for Muslim women, no insistence on the Burka or Chador/Hejab. We have to move our attention to countries which have been seen as our friends, to observe the strictest Islamic dress codes, and attitudes to women's rights - Saudi Arabia, some parts of Pakistan, Yemen, Kuwait, and of course Afghanistan.
The only reason why Muslim women wear the Burka, is because they have been instructed in extreme Islamic views from an early age, and it is all to do with the chauvinistic control of women by Muslim men. Within certain Muslim communities/families, there is no opportunity for dissent, because of the rigid rules being applied to the women.
We are talking about fear of violence, and of fear of exclusion from the family or community, which makes some Muslim women observe these outdated practices. There is no place for this in 21st Century Britain.

Your logic doesn't work, you've advocated banning something then say everyone should be independent with no restrictions placed on them as to what they should wear.

Put yourself in the place of a woman who wants to make an independent choice to wear a Burka, would you place a restriction on her by banning her choice of clothing? Doesn't seem very British to me.


I think Burka its a religious rule and its not a choice made by a community. The woman who wears Burka is only because of the rule from her family and her community and she may express Burkha as a choice only to accept how addicted and supressed she is with her community.

I would have accepted this as a "choice" , if woman wears a Burkha today and tommorrow she could wear a dress whatever she likes and walk her around community freely.

It should have been already banned by now. Its just a straight logic..women any where in the world needs to be independent and no restrictions needs to applied in form of religion or whatever..AND NEVER SHOULD BE TOLERATED IN BRITAIN. If any one are too religious they are always welcome to do so..in those religious type of country. If wanted to be a British..be BRITISH and follows its value and do not integrate some other lands value into BRITAIN.

I always thought why our government do not stop issuing work visas and have seen a BBC programme which shows accepting the visa application for all of them whoever applies. I think it may be a better idea for the Uk embassy in their respective countries to keep strict filters accordingly and limit the flow at the first instance.
